Wow, "The_Beek", real classy reply, did you come up with that yourself?

Gee, where do I start?

For your information beeker, I was using a float the whole time. Not one cast was made without one. Then again, this was only the first of your apparently intentional twisting of the facts and/or jumping to the farthest possible conclusion to make this into something it wasn't and to portray me as a snagger. And frankly anyway, what makes you the authority to say who can and cannot fish any river? If I was a snagger beeker, I wouldn't have attempted to avoid it by running corkies even with a float, running only 2 1/2 to 3-foot leaders, going down to size 1 hooks, and eventually even rebending the hooks inward now would I? And I did move repeatedly along a 2-mile stretch of river as well as picking up and going down river. Sounds like you are just eager to make yourself out to be more noble than the rest of us. They must not teach math in your country. I never said I snagged 60 to 80 fish, just under half were fair hooked (another obvious misrepresentation on your part.) By the way, the LOCALS from what I saw were VERY experienced snaggers, jerking hard at the end of every cast (while I was jently lifting), and they were mostly running big hooks, almost no yarn and snagging far more fish than I was on average. So why don't you take your attitude elsewhere. And yes, I am coming back up today, so I hope you don't mind.
